Guests from Marc Platt (Legally Blonde), Adam Herz Prod (American
Pie) The Sci Fi Channel (Battle Star Galactica) Marc Rossman (The
Perfect Man), Roberts/David (Strangers with Candy), and Kevin Misher
Film (Interpreter) plus other production companies.
At Sherwood Oaks emerging writers can meet and chat with major
producers, writers, agents, directors and actors. And the best part
is that for nearly all of the situations we set up, the guests are
willing to accept material directly from our small group of writers,
whether they have representation or not. Sherwood Oaks Experimental
College specializes in organizing screenwriting events which gives
writers access to the top agents, producers and studio executives in
Hollywood. It brings in industry players to personally meet with
writers and keeps the groups small to allow the writers to interact
with each and every guest. In 2005 James Cameron, Kevin Costner,
David Duchovney, Morgan Freeman, Michael London, Gary Marshall,
Hillary Swank, David Mamet and many others have appeared. Sherwood
Oaks Experimental College also takes small groups to award shows like
the Directors Guild Award Show, he Producers Guild Awards, the Writers
Guild Awards, and the Emmys. It has held screenwriting events at many
Hollywood Studios, including Sony, MGM, FOX, Universal and Paramount.

* The Megahit Movies Book*
The new 500+ page edition analyzes *The Megahit Movies*, those films
which have generated more than $250 million in North American Box
Office receipts. It presents principles of story construction that
can be used to develop popular movies by providing an analysis of
cinematic techniques. It also offers stimulating ideas that can be
helpful in the creative process. The book is designed for writers,
directors and producers who want to create commercially successful
films. The fundamentals of dramatic structure, the human emotions,
and the construction of humorous characters and situations are
explained, with examples drawn from some of the most popular motion
pictures Hollywood has ever produced.
The Foreword to the book is written by Christopher Lockhart,
Executive Story Editor, International Creative Management (ICM), in
which he discusses what Producers, Agents and Studios are looking for
when reading scripts.
This book discusses the recent megahit-blockbuster movies such as
SPIDER-MAN, SHREK, HARRY POTTER, BRUCE ALMIGHTY, MATRIX TRILOGY,
FINDING NEMO, PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN and THE LORD OF THE RINGS.

Synopsis
Pamela is shy and leads an insipid and anonymous life working as a supermarket cashier.
As a religious devout her only solace is her regular attendance to Church. A growing and gradual desire to have a child takes over Pamela's life. Suddenly miracles start to occur. and messages of a marvelous destiny start to reach Pamela in unusual ways: encounters with a mysterious customer, the friendship of a glamorous protective motherly transvestite, her disconcerting dreams, even in the barcodes of the products she has spent her life scanning.
The 'Savior of the Next Millennium' is apparently on his way and everything indicates that Pamela, a virgin, is carrying said savior.Confused Pamela undertakes an inner voyage, attempting to reconcile the desire of conception with her religious notions.
A paradoxical voyage the more mystic she grows, the more human she becomes
